Artificial intelligence isn’t “ending finance jobs.”
That headline is lazy — and wrong.
What AI is actually doing is stripping out the parts of finance roles that were never worth a human salary, while putting more pressure (and upside) on judgment, client work, risk decisions, and real thinking.
In this episode, we break down — without hype or fear-mongering — what AI is actually changing across finance careers, including:
Wealth management and financial advisorsClient-facing associates and sales assistantsSales & trading desksInvestment banking analysts and associatesEntry-level roles and career switchersWe separate jobs vs tasks, explain why some AI-exposed roles are seeing higher wage growth, and walk through where AI helps, where it replaces, and where humans still get paid.
If you work in finance, are studying for a finance license, or are considering a career change into banking, trading, or advising, this episode is a reality check — not a pep talk and not a doom spiral.
No hype.
No panic.
Just how this actually plays out in the real world.
